Fun At Bat is an entry-level bat and ball program for kids with an emphasis on character development, functional movement, active play and of course having fun.
The initiative stems from meticulous research on introductory youth sport programs and is supported by Major League Baseball, USA Baseball and industry professionals.
The Fun At Bat program is FREE for schools and school districts to adopt. It has been engineered to operate in gymnasiums, open playgrounds, blacktops, or ballfields.
The grade-specific curriculum includes active warm-up exercises and other activities that support the age-based physical literacy standards of the Society of Health and Physical Educators (SHAPE America). Students do not need to own any baseball-specific equipment as teachers will be provided with equipment from Franklin Sports. Teachers will receive a kit that includes equipment, a detailed and easy-to-follow curriculum, a book set and access to a FREE online instructor training module.
